Collections Q&A

What previous attendees have said:

"I feel the Q&A sessions are really valuable and just having that hour's support once a month to help with any queries that have come up is so beneficial. "

" I found this useful, especially to understand that I have been on right track and what areas I can now prioritise in my museum."

Facilitators

• Sarah Sinka, Museum Development Officer
• Jo Low, Museum Development Officer
• Alex Gordon-Jones, Museum Development Officer
